With qualification to the knockout phase already secured, Sir Alex
Ferguson has named a host of youngsters, while Giggs, Scholes, De Gea
and Valencia all miss out.

United has already secured its place
in the knockout phase of the competition, as a 3-1 win in Braga almost a
fortnight ago made it four wins out of four so far.

With his
side looking to maintain its place at the top of the Premier League
table, Ferguson has opted to rest a number of senior names - including
Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Antonio Valencia and David De Gea - in favour
of some of the club's younger players.

Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone
and defender Tom Thorpe are both yet to make a senior appearance for the
Old Trafford outfit, have featured at Under-21 level for the club and
are capped at England Under-19 level.
